In a rare and heartwarming glimpse into family life, Meghan Markle shared a precious moment with her daughter, Princess Lilibet, as the Sussex family baked thumbprint cookies together at their Montecito home. The three-year-old, who may have inherited her father Prince Harry’s red hair, looked like a mini-Meghan with her locks pulled up into a low bun—one of the Duchess’ signature hairstyles.
Lilibet, dressed in an adorable pink outfit and a matching headband, stood on a wooden toddler stool while Meghan prepared the dough for the cookies. The playful scene also featured the family’s dog, Pula, strolling around the kitchen as Meghan and Prince Harry were joined by close friends Kelly McKee Zajfen and Clare Waight Keller, Meghan’s wedding dress designer.
In her Instagram caption, Meghan wrote, “When making thumbprint cookies at home becomes a family affair! Thanks @heartmom & @clarewaightkeller for the love and extra set of hands!” The video, which also featured a sweet bonding moment between Meghan and her son Archie, who will turn six in May, was shared ahead of Meghan’s appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, where she revealed they had the cookies ready for the audience.
The baking session highlighted the family’s cozy home life and the joy of simple moments, with Meghan reflecting on how Lilibet loves to make up songs and helps with her homemade preserves. The clip comes just days after Meghan’s new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, premiered, where the Duchess shares cooking, gardening, and hosting tips.
In the show, Meghan describes how her children, Archie and Lilibet, take gardening seriously and even have their own mini-tools. Meghan also mentioned that Lilibet has developed a fondness for creating songs, while both children have “very American accents” but pronounce “zebra” with a British twist, reflecting their mixed heritage.
The adorable family moments, combined with Meghan’s insights into her daily life and family dynamics, continue to endear the Duchess to her supporters.
